The real cost of Growth
If your team is scaling, but execution feels slower, this is why.
Most founders add people to fix operational pain. In reality, the bottleneck is hidden in how work moves through your company: hand-offs, ownership, and visibility. The Execution Index diagnostic shows you the failing areas in one pass.
Symptoms you feel
Projects lag and fail between teams
Leads or tickets fall through the cracks
Meetings multiply, clarity doesn’t
Everyone is “busy”, but metrics are stalling
What’s really happening
No single owner for key initiatives
Multiple definitions of priorities across teams
Critical processes live in expert's minds
Alignment doesn’t match the real work flow
How it works
From instinct to a precise operational game plan
In less time than "quick" pull up, you’ll see exactly which levers to move to unlock more capacity and efficiency from the team you already have.

What’s inside
20 questions across the 4 failure modes of scale
Each question is designed from patterns across dozens of high-growth teams. Together they give you a clean snapshot of where operations are cracking as volume increases.
Target Direction: Where is your organization headed and does everyone in the organization know where?
Role Clarity: Who does what, when, where, and why? This is bigger than a job description.
Unified Decisions: How are decisions made and who makes them?
Enabling Systems: Do your systems support the organization you are now or the one you were 18 months ago?
External Compass: How are your environmental pressures compounding your current state?
Your 3 focus areas will have specific tasks for you and your team, so the diagnostic becomes a conversation, not just another score.
You’ll walk away with:
A one-page radar chart of your operational health
Clarity on which pillar is your top priority
Assessment of timeline based on external pressure
3 prioritized focus areas and next steps
An immediate next step to move forward
Language you can reuse in leadership meetings, board decks, and OKRs
About the creator: V. Grace Deyo
Designed from the trenches of high-growth ops
The Execution Index distills patterns from working with leaders across multiple high performing organizations onboarding up to 1,500 people annually. It’s built by someone who has sat in the front row of a Fortune 20 organization, worked across business lines, sales, service, and ops roles, and seen what breaks when an organization goes from 10 → 200 → 1,500 people.
Built from >50 operational deep dives with scaling teams
Designed to be used directly by founders and functional leads
Lifting leaders back into strategic work and moving day to day responsibilities back into the hands of front line teams
You’re not buying a generic model, you’re getting a pragmatic lens on what actually moves the needle for operational leverage.

Questions
FAQ about the Execution Index diagnostic
If you don’t see your question here, reply to the confirmation email after purchase. We answer each of them
How long does the diagnostic actually take?
Most founders or ops leads complete the 20 questions in 9–15 minutes. The questions are thoughtfully designed to help you easily self identify. You don't need any formal documentation to begin.
Who should fill this out: me or my team?
If you’re under 40 people, the founder or COO can usually answer alone. Above that, we recommend involving at least one functional leader (e.g., Head of Sales, CS, or Product) so the diagnostic captures how work feels across the org.
Will I need to share sensitive data or metrics?
No. The diagnostic focuses on structures, behaviors, and clarity, not proprietary numbers. You won’t be asked to enter revenue, headcount, or customer names.
Is this a fit if we’re pre-product-market fit?
Probably not. The Execution Index diagnostic is designed for teams that are actively scaling delivery, revenue, or product footprint. If you’re still searching for PMF, your focus is likely on experimentation, not optimization.
